Rite Aid Freebie - OOP vs. Net/Final Price Example

When searching for deals online, you may often see couponing lingo that is difficult to interpret. OOP is a commonly used phrase that stands for "out of pocket." It literally means the money you will be spending out of pocket, although you may end up saving more later through points, rewards, rebates or gift cards. What you actually spend overall after rewards, etc. is called your net or final price.

This week at Rite Aid, Neutrogena soap bars are BOGO 50% off.
In my area, bars are around $3.29 retail.

Buy 1 Neutrogena bar at $3.29
Buy 1 Neutrogena bar $1.64 (BOGO 50%)
= $4.39 OOP

You will get back $5 worth of points wyb 2. You can do this offer twice per Rite Aid card.
=$.07 MM 


So here, the deal is technically a money maker in the long run, but you will be spending $4.93 plus tax out of pocket. 

Happy Couponing!

I Just Kicked CVS's Butt!

I tend to be a cosmetics hoarder... not because I enjoy hoarding, but I love to play around with eyeshadows, liners and my mascara. So whenever I can get this stuff inexpensively, I stock up in a million different colors.
I also think I'll be donating duplicates to a place that collects dresses for girls for prom so they can have new, unopened makeup to beautify themselves for the big event.

Lately, CVS has had a ton of makeup on clearance, up to 75% off! Matched with manufacturer's coupons, this has made for the most amazing deals.

I ran around like a chicken with its head cut off right before I had to go and babysit my three loves. In the process I hit up 2 different CVSs, 2 different Rite Aids and Shaws. Here are some highlights

CVS #1
7 HIP L'oreal eyeshadows - reg. $8.49/ea 75% off - $2.12/ea
2 CVS Cocoa Butter sticks - $.99/ea

- $5/2 L'oreal face cosmetics X 2
- $2/1 L'oreal face cosmetics x 3
- $1/2 any CVS brand skin care

Total: $1.04
Saved: $62.53
I'm very fortunate that Massachusetts charges tax post-coupons; therefore, I only paid tax on the .98 subtotal at the end of my order, rather than the original, before-coupon prices.

CVS #2
6 HIP L'oreal eyeshadows - reg. $8.79/ea 75% off - $2.12/ea

-$5/2 L'oreal face cosmetics X2
-$2/1 L'oreal face cosmetics X2

Total: $.92 (on tax, my subtotal was $0!)
Saved: $52.94

Rite Aid #1
1 Reach Total Care Floss - reg. $3.99, on sale $2.99
1 Axe antiperspirant/deodorant - reg. $4.50, on sale 2/$9
1 2-pk of Axe spray - reg. $9.99, on sale 2/$9
2 Dawn - reg. $1.99, on sale $.97
1 Nature's Made Fish Oil, reg. $10.49, on sale B1G1* Because there was only 1 in the store, they sold it to me at half cost
2 Stayfree 24-count, reg. $3.99, on sale B1G1

-$2/1 Reach
-$1 Video Value Reach
-$1/1 Dawn X 2
-B1G1 Axe ($4.50)
-$2/1 Fish Oil
-$3 Video Value Fish Oil
-B1G1 Stayfee ($3.99)
-$1 Video Value Winter Rewards
-$1 Video Value wellness+
-$1 Video Value pharmacy

Total: $1.67
Got back $3 in UP+ rewards for the Axe
Saved: Wellness savings: $13.01, Coupon savings: $21.49


Rite Aid #2
I was very tired at this point.

4 Stayfree 48-ct, reg. $6.99 ea, on sale B1G1
1 Valentine's Card for my hubby - $2.79 (yikes!)

-B1G1 Stayfree ($6.99) X 2

Total: $3.96
Saved: Wellness savings: $13.98, Coupon savings: $13.98
